Question

Just switched from bash to zsh.

In bash, background tasks continue running when the shell exits. For example here, dolphin continues running after the

Answer 1

I have found that using a combination of nohup, &, and disown works for me, as I don't want to permanently cause jobs to run when the shell has exited.

nohup  & disown

While just & has worked for me in bash, I found when using only nohup, &, or disown on running commands, like a script that calls a java run command, the process would still stop when the shell is exited.

• nohup makes the command ignore NOHUP and SIGHUP signals from the shell
• & makes the process run in the background in a subterminal
• disown followed by an argument (the index of the job number in your jobs list) prevents the shell from sending a SIGHUP signal to child processes. Using disown without an argument causes it to default to the most recent job.

I found the nohup and disown information at this page, and the & information in this SO answer.
